define acceleration when he the acceleration of a body positive and negative
Answers
Answer:
When an object is speeding up, the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity. Thus, this object has a positive acceleration. In Example B, the object is moving in the negative direction (i.e., has a negative velocity) and is slowing down.
Explanation:
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Usually, acceleration means the speed is changing, but not always. When an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed, it is still accelerating, because the direction of its velocity is changing.
Acceleration___
a=v-u
t
a= acceleration
v= final velocity
c= intial velocity
t= time
Negative :- when the velocity of a body increases, the acceleration is negative.
Positive :- acceleration of a body is defined as the rate of change in its velocity with time, if it's velocity decreases then it is positive acceleration.
